I have a echocardiogram on the 25th to investigate a heart murmur. I also have chest pain upon physical exertion. It seems that the cortef is making the chest pain worse. I truly hope that I don't have heart problems. I don't need more to worry about.
So if the cortef doesn't give me a heart attack, it will have been an improvement so far.
My ultimate goal is to regain the ability to exercise and benefit from it.
Storms are brewing outside. I like taking naps during storms. It is very comforting.
I just received word that my Aunt was in a car accident and broke some ribs. I am waiting for a call from my mom on details. I seem to be handling it better than I normally handle stress, which means that the drugs might be working.
More later.

A found a report from JAMA on a randomized, placebo controlled,
double blind therapeutic trial conducted between 1992 1nd 1996. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low dose oral hydrocortisone as a treatment for CSF. The result: (abbrev.) Hydrocortisone patients had a greater improvement in mean wellness score. Adverse symptoms were mild, suppression of adrenal
glucocorticoid responsiveness was
documented in 12 patients who re-
ceived it vs none in placebo group.
